What are Wall Street analysts saying about Plug Power stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Plug Power stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Plug Power Inc. is a leading provider of alternative energy technology focused on the design, development, commercialization and manufacture of hydrogen fuel cell systems used primarily for the material handling and stationary power market. They are focused on proton exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel cell and fuel processing technologies, fuel cell/battery hybrid technologies, and associated hydrogen storage and dispensing infrastructure from which multiple products are available. They sell and continue to develop fuel cell product solutions to replace lead-acid batteries in material handling vehicles and industrial trucks for some of North America's largest distribution and manufacturing businesses. Their current product line includes: GenDrive, GenFuel, GenCare, ReliOn, and GenKey. " (3/7/2020)
2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We believe revenue strength in the quarter was driven by continued uptake in deployments and recognition from some of the shift that took place in 1Q19. Plug reported deploying 2,000 GenDrive units in the quarter, a 70% YoY increase, and now has a total of approximately 28,000 fuel cell systems deployed in the market. GAAP and adjusted gross profit for the quarter was $10.1M or gross margin of 17.3% of revenues vs. a gross loss of $6.8M, or a gross loss margin of 29.7% in 1Q19, supported by higher revenues. We believe the higher revenue periods in 2H19 should keep gross margins in the black. However, investors should expect GAAP gross margins to fluctuate depending on the impact of provision related to warrants until a cumulative of $600M of qualified purchases have been reached with Amazon (AMZN; not rated) and Walmart (WMT; not rated)."
